Greatest rock band ever?
Greates rock band(s) ever? By greatest I mean that had the most influence.
The Beatles
Based on impact and how well known they were and are. Though only 2 remain alive, the others live on in spirit.
And on the CDs

I also think black sabbath and the sex pistols (if your going to include punk into rock, the ramones are an option so i presume you are) are big influences

Hey I just voted Chucky Berry, cause well he rocked before most people knew what rocking was. However the MC5 should be on that list because without them there would be no punk and possibly no thrash metal.

I would be, those guys with the big furry hats marching all funny at ya. And imagine the torture of trying to understand them as they get irratated and start yelling. Gives me a headache and bad dreams just thinking about it.

i think QuarQ is the best rockband ever...owyeah
I would have to say MC5, The Clash, Bad Religion, or the Chuck Berry. Without any of these, excluding Bad Religion, who influenced countless 80's skate-punk bands, including NOFX, who is now being ripped off by an even more exponential number of shitty skate-punk bands, modern rock, metal, and punk would be totally different.

Rock has changed so much, looking from back with the beatles to nirvana like a while ago, it changes so damn fast, ya think all those rock legends enjoy todays stuff?
Or is it all too diff?

Any of the original Southern Bluesmen. Far more influence than the bands listed, as, they actually influenced them all.
Holy shit. Is this a new fad? Being unable to spell 'Beatles'? I mean really, people, it ain't that hard.
Ramones might have influential, but that doesn't change his [Joey's] obnoxious lisp.

If we're going for influential, Velvet Underground.

How dare you compare Deep Purple to Zepp. Blasphemy, I say. :p Sabbath was cool, but I think they really had a very different shtick.

I voted other- Queen.
Mainly because I love Queen. They innovated by combining straight rock, and all its variants with other forms of music. Their music was extraordinarily adaptive. And all four were/are brilliant musicians.
Then there's their innovation with the film clip. They were among the first bands to experiment with the medium.

Hmm.. I don't think this thread holds much credit as the creator spelt The Beatles, Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix wrong...
I'll help him out.
Beetles - Beatles
Nirvanna - Nirvana
Jimmi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix(close on that one)
Looks to me like he googled "Best Rock Band Ever" and couldn't be stuff remembering how to spell all the names.
Oh and by the way, Jimi Hendrix wasn't a band, he was a person. You might have meant The Jimi Hendrix Experience, but as you can't even spell The Bealtes correctly, I highly doubt it.

Sabbath was cool, but I think they really had a very different shtick.They influenced metal more than rock, i think. They're also the founders or 'forefathers' of doom metal..
